Tutors are able to draw on their industrial, commercial and practical experience as well as their academic expertise. They have operated under similar pressures and commitments as their delegates, consequently their advice is practical, down to earth and realistic.
Induction Session
At the start, or prior to commencement of the course, an induction 1 evaluation session is held to assess prior knowledge and understanding of the subject to be delivered. The induction session contributes to the success of the course and provides the opportunity of sharing experience's with the tutor and when applicable others in the group.

Delegate's Commitment
It is important to appreciate that a high degree of self-motivation is required for any delegate embarking on our courses. Our courses are demanding and will require that all the session and when required assignments are successfully completed.
On Site Training
Our Gas Turbine Training provides technical information and hands on experience (if an engine is available) for those who maintain the LM1600, LM2000, LM2500, LM2500+, LM5000, and LM6000 gas turbine engines and various control systems.
